The Silvereye is a small (9.5cm - 12cm) bird with a conspicuous ring of white feathers around the eye, and belongs to a group of birds collectively known as white-eyes.
Silvereyes may occur in almost any wooded habitat, especially commercial orchards and urban parks and gardens.
Silvereyes breed during August to February (later in the north), and pairs actively defend a small territory.

 Imperial College London - Silvereye birds help scientists to settle disputed evolutionary theory
The larger species of silvereye has existed on Norfolk Island for approximately two million years, whereas the smaller silvereye species arrived in 1904 and there has not been sufficient time for the evolution of larger body size.
The Silvereye's pattern of colonisation there was originally used to support the founder effect model, first proposed by Ernst Mayr in 1954.
The south west Pacific islands benefit from a well-documented history of such events, and DNA samples were taken from birds captured on the islands to be compared with samples from Silvereye colonies on the Australian mainland and with samples from island populations of Silvereyes known to be founded over 3,000 years ago.

 Science Fair Projects - Silvereye
Silvereyes breed in spring and early summer, making a tiny cup of grass, spiderweb, and thistledown, suspended from a small tree or shrub, and laying 2 to 4 pale blue eggs.
Once the young have fledged, Silvereyes gather into flocks and many migrate north during late summer, making their way north along the coast and ranges, foraging busily through the day with much calling and quick movement through the shrubbery, gradually working north, then flying long distances at night.
It arrived in greater numbers in 1856, and it is assumed that a migrating flock was swept eastwards by a storm.
